Keyboard cable... on a LAPTOP? Or do you mean they will take the laptop apart, insert a hardware keylogger INSIDE the laptop and then break in again, take the laptop apart AGAIN, read the password, etc.? That sounds a bit far-fetched, TBH.
It was late in the evening when I wrote it, I was at work, I was multitasking at the time. It's a typo, believe it or not. My (very mild) dyslexia kicks in every now and then when I'm tired. Among my typical mistakes: - typing "e" instead of "a"; - releasing the Shift key either too early or too late; - typing "ruch" instead of "rush" and "Englich" instead of "English".
Now you know a little bit more about me.
Of course, I should have reviewed my text, sorry for not doing it.
Because they measured it the wrong way. Their measure how many distinct entities control exit and entry nodes. This has no meaning in some cases, such as CHine, as you righteously pointed out. If there are 100 entities controlling such nodes and ALL are immediately listening to a government's order to shut down, then that's worse than a country with TWO distinctly controlled nodes, out of which ZERO listen to a government order.

XSUsenet.com. I found it after having my interest in Usenet boosted by the article, so I looked for a free server to browse. Everything else asked for subscription upfront, and my wallet remains shut at the moment.
So then... Hollywood does choose the simple method: they buy ALL candidates and then just sit back and relax. Money. Bringing power since... well, birth.
Welcome to Globalization. There's pretty much nothing you can do against it. It's a byproduct of communication easiness and fast(ish) travel times. 50 years ago it was next to impossible to have a real-time conversation with someone from the other side of the globe, and costs were abysmal. Now, it's cheap, easy and instantaneous. So it's much more feasible to employ cheap people from the other side of the globe.
I'm not an American, but I know that: the thing I'm going to look at the most after I theoretically buy a laptop/ultrabook is the god damn SCREEN. And for that matter, the fact that it's fast and snappy is heavily counterbalanced by a shitty screen. The GP is right in a way.
As an end-user, what I need is follow-up. Some sort of pingback communication which tells me "dude, your problem can go away with this patch", even months after I submit that error report. Sadly, as an end-user, I see no point in even bothering to send them out, because the feedback is so indirect I never see it. I was sarcastic, true, but it's my perception as an end-user. I sent maybe a couple hundreds of such reports, felt like talking to a wall, except the latter has a chance of echoing back.
True... It's funny you get that bloody "send report to Microsoft" every time some software crashes for whatever reason. I think they have a dedicated server cluster called "Trash" for all of those messages.
Incorrect. I have installed Windows 7 last week for a newbie and in my rush I forgot to install the nVidia proprietary drivers. Guess what, games worked flawlessly. Only when I installed MSI Afterburner on that machine did I realize it. Go figure...
Depends what you use it for. Windows 95 would NOT run fine on a new machine. It would, however, run fine on an old machine, but would NOT be able to run most modern software. Hence the analogy with a car and the infrastructure it runs on. Same goes for Windows XP, albeit to a lesser degree. I had the displeasure of working on a Windows 95 machine no earlier than two weeks ago. It looked and acted so aged... after being used to Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, for example.
Bullshit. If you charge a few millions for such a product, you can afford making a custom installer. Yes, I agree that from a strict profit-making point of view it's better to go with manual steps because that brings you more money. But please, for fuck's sake, don't tell me it can't be done.
I would watch with interest when that single-file Database you're using messes up for good, completely, because that single-file was deleted by mistake. Tee hee. Or when it got corrupted by power loss, etc.
That has no longer been valid since post-'95. An OS lasts just as long as an automobile, if you consider all the variables. If the infrastructure doesn't change, an OS would last forever. But infrastructure (read hardware support, network support, etc) does change, and rapidly. Your own automobile would be good for nothing if, for example, current roads would be replaced by magnetic field monorails.

...or happy. You never know!

I'm only giving you my shit if you're willing to take it. You did. Congratulations :)
I was supposed to be FUNNY. :)
A whoosh would be in order, but I suppose I was to witty even for that. Oh well

Yeah I know :) but better me than some newb, right? :P

I have Avast, which scored way better and guess what... It's free as well. Go figure...
Oh and to your analogy, it's like comparing Paint with Gimp.
battery runtime and performance
You can only have one of the two. Just sayin'...

Installation of the proprietary nVidia drivers hasn't required a restart since 2009, if I'm not mistaken. Welcome to the 21st century.

Dude! You pointed out the SAME thing but somehow managed to look like you disagree with me.Congrats for going full retard here :)
Include that in the install interface, then.
